Report uncovers obstacles, opportunities for green infrastructure

The Clean Water America Alliance report, Barriers and Gateways to Green Infrastructure, recommends agencies urge EPA to use new stormwater regulations and permits to help drive green infrastructure. It also calls for greater coordination among — and increased funding from — federal agencies (including the U.S. DOT, USDA, and U.S. Department of the Interior). The report is based on a national survey of more than 200 utilities, nongovernmental organizations, and government and private entities to determine obstacles experienced, and opportunities revealed, when implementing programs.
